  • Title: 'False feet': an alternative to expensive surgical shoes.
    Author: Brown IW, Walker G.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1987 Sep; 69(5):201-2. PubMed ID: 3674681.
    Abstract:
    A method of 'equalising' unequal sized and shaped feet to allow the use of normal shoes of equal size, and permit the purchase of a 'pair' of shoes is described. This makes available a greater choice of normal styles and colours for patients with deformed and unequal feet. It is contrasted with the provision of custom-made surgical shoes and the purchase of two pairs of unequal size shop shoes. The patients and their parents were pleased with the results and the cost savings were considerable.
